    This is a beautiful design! I'll be copying it 😅 I feel like the motor was mou ted a little to far out. Was that intentional?

    • @EricFB
      @EricFB Місяць тому

      Not sure to be honest, I’ve been up and down some uncomfortably steep hills and haven’t had any issues. My gut tells me they are the same, I can’t see Honda re-inventing the wheel on such similar engines. I’d run your engine as is and see if it’s an issue before giving yourself more work. Something else you could do leave the sensor and put a switch on the dash to “Bypass on demand”. Cheers

If you only have 1 canoe the bracket works well if you want a mix of motor/ paddle. If you only plan to use the canoe with a motor I’d probably get a square stern canoe just to you have 1 less piece of gear to drag around. Cheers

    Having trouble installing a new thermostat housing on my Mk5 2.5 Rabbit - that large pipe that goes into the water pump end just won't seat fully - I removed the old O-ring, there shouldn't be anything blocking my path, but I'm still over a 1/4 inch from fully seating so I can't install the mounting bolts. Any ideas? Been muscling it for the last 30 minutes with no luck.

      If it won’t go in with out the o-ring, not sure, take a look around and make sure you aren’t getting hung up on something. If it won’t go with the o-ring, Put some silicone/ dielectric grease on the o-ring and it’ll pop in with a bit of love. Good luck!

    Hi, I have the same motor. What kind of V-belt pulley and motor mount did you use? Can you give me the link please? Thanks

    • @EricFB
      @EricFB 2 місяці тому

      For the pulley I can’t remember for sure, Amazon or princess auto (harbour freight type store), measure your shaft size to get a pulley with the correct bore. Depending on your setup it’ll either be keyed or have a set screw. V-belts are pretty forgiving, I’ve seen people diy pulleys out of just about anything. For the belt I roughly measured the size and went to princess auto and purchased a bunch of belts +/- what I measured and returned the ones that didn’t fit. Good luck!

    Pro, nice Idea was thinking of ways to do this with the side mount canoe vs top lip. Instead of those fancy clamps you could have ran the angle iron on the outside and drilled holees through the angle iron, put bolts through and used a double nut system as a tensioner.

      @EricFB 2 місяці тому

      The Kawasaki engine was already out when I got this Conquest. I just replaced the he engine he had in it for the Honda. Brand new + Honda reliability. In your case I’m not sure. Make sure your cooling system is fully operational (rad plugged with mud/ leafs etc) heat shields in place, air filter not clogged etc. I do believe these struggle to keep cool when worked hard in the heat but worth giving it a look over. Good luck

    My father in law had a similar motor at his cottage on Lake Huron near Tobermory, Ontario, Canada. I believe his was a 5 horse. We had it on a 14 foot aluminum boat. We used that motor for a long time trolling for Rainbow Trout in the waters surrounding his cottage. Having to turn the motor completely around with the propellor under the boat was always a cool thing to do. RIP Hank Gardiner. Like you he could tinker and fix anything.

    I have a 92 Indy 440. Same engine, sounds the same as mine. About the same engine compression also. The airbox offers a small amount of restriction to the air entering the carbs. Removing the airbox results in a greater air flow and a somewhat leaner fuel mixture into the engine. It seems to like leaner. That engine is not revving out like it should. As mentioned below a look at the secondary clutch would be an opportunity to at least verify the components current status. Weak spring. buttons worn out. That coolant leak is annoying for sure. Classic, I mean CLASSIC that piece of firewood lifting up the back bumper.
